Per Capita |
| Countless opinions — a hotbed of riches |
| Last remaining entitlement |
| Feeling valued? |
| Or devoutly subdued? |
| Per Capita |
| All placated and humoured |
| A billion voices shall all register — they say |
| Diversity for the diverse |
| Feeling valued? |
| Or devoutly subdued? |
| Per Capita |
| All placated and humoured |
| The movers, the shakers — largely abjecy fakers |
| Scale their ivory towers |
| Democracy sours, peasant |
| Democracy sours, peasant! |
| Self-interest in the pure sense is pushing for the privilege |
| Not to be undervalued or singled out as surplus — dead weight |
| Democracy sours, peasant! |
| Per Capita, you are entrapped… |
| …Away from their precious glass houses |
| Which you’d shatter with stones of just justice |
| Exposing the power base for all its filthy favouritism |
| Per Capita, they’ve got your number… |
| …Turning the rest against your so-called reprehensible deviance |
| Setting new precedents for crass behaviour |
| And so persists the untouchable elite |
| Scale their ivory towers, peasant! |
